If you’re a local in Tahiti, there’s a pretty good chance you’re not afraid of the reef. There’s also a pretty good chance that you’re much more comfortable in the big stuff. Such is the case with 24-year-old Tikanui Smith.
One of the group of young up-and-comers that absolutely charge in the heaviest waves imaginable, Smith has the entire island dialed–including those right-handers you never hear about.
